Answer:

w = - 112

Explanation:

-34=-6+w/4

1. Add 6 on both sides

-34 + 6 = -6 + 6 + w/4

-28 = w/4

2. Multiply 4 on both sides since it's the opposite of dividing

-28 * 4= w/4 * 4

- 112 = w

Hope this helped!

Answer:

w=−112

Explanation:

-34=-6+w/4

Simplify both sides of the equation.

−34=−6+ w /4

−34=−6+ 1 /4 w

−34= 1 /4 w−6

Flip the equation.

1 4/ w−6=−34

Add 6 to both sides.

1 /4 w−6+6=−34+6

1 /4 w=−28

Multiply both sides by 4.

w=−112
